Female tourist is caught on camera destroying a sand sculpture in the lobby of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Hawaii while her friend records the incident.


I wouldn't refer to this "adult" as a girl. Although the behavior doesn't exactly scream adult either. What a horrible human being.

I saw that too! The article I read said that she was a minor. I was shocked because I thought she looked like she was about 40 years old. Terrible behavior. They've apparently already flown in sand sculpture artist to start the repairs.

I hope she, or her family if she is a minor, is charged for the repair costs.

Oops. Usually I think people are way younger than they are. (Sign of being old, I know.) :doh:

You could have knocked me over with a feather when they said she was a minor.

She looks like she ate the previous sculpture. Unsocial media turns people into monsters.

It appears she was at least old enough to consume alcohol. She deserves a bill for her behavior. (at least) If a guest at the hotel, they surely have a credit card on file for 'incidentals'.

It says the girls are Oahu residents. If they weren't actual hotel guests I suppose trespassing could be added to the charges.

She definitely looked drunk. Vandalism is a crime, she should be held responsible.,no matter her age.

Age should not matter, this was a destruction of private property. She need to be charge by the police and made to pay the full cost to restore the sand sculpture IMHO.
She needs to go to jail. Do not pass GO. She needs to go straight to jail.

How many people need to go to jail but get a free pass? Part of the problem everywhere.

I have no interest in paying for their incarceration. In this case they should pay all damages and a good fine. Let them pay not me.

I think we have gotten too soft. Maybe 8 hours a day in Stocks for a week in a very public place with a sign describing her transgression would be about right.

Our children were never perfect. The one thing they could count on was they would be held responsible for anything they did, or at least anything we found out about. It didn’t keep them from being or doing stupid things but, it made them think about it and probably kept them from making some of the big mistakes like this one.

No blame. Just personal responsibility for their actions. Sometime I think personal responsibility is what’s missing these days.

If I were her parent, she’d be on a flight home and wouldn’t see the light of day for quite sometime after she finished making enough money to pay for the damage that she did.

You forget the /sarcasm off tag..... :D:D

I think caning might be an appropriate sentence.

We were in Carmel last week and went down to Point Lobos. As we were walking along the shore we saw a young boy kick over what looked like a stone statue type of thing that someone had put up on the beach. His parents paid no attention. Granted, this is not like destroying the sand sculpture, but this is probably how it starts.

Why? The public is invited into hotels to use the bars and restaurants.

Depends. Some hotels have rules regarding the admission of adults with children who behave like morons.

No, I think pretty much anyone can behave like a moron.

I say give her a broom and let her spend some quality time in whatever part of the hotel the guests enter after coming in from the beach. A few weeks of sweeping the endless amounts of sand ought to help her remember to make better choices next time.

I saw here on the news last night that the artist flew in from Florida and fixed it. All because someone was stupid.
